The Alden Story

Alden shells are known for their and stable rowing characteristics, high manufacturing quality, and affordable prices. Whether your rowing an Alden 16 or our new Surf Scull SUP Rig you know its built to last. The original Alden Ocean Shells are still gliding across the water after more than 40 years.

Made in the USA!

Arthur E. Martin, Naval Architect Arthur Martin was a down-east yankee who designed the most popular recreational rowing shell in the world, the Alden Ocean Shell. Trained as a naval architect, Arthur spent World War II working in the central technical department of Bethlehem Steel Corp., and eventually ended up in Kittery Point Maine where he owned and operated Martin Marine Company, later called Alden Rowing, with his wife Marjorie until his death in 1990.
